Real-Time Carbon Accounting Method for the European Electricity Markets.

摘要: Electricity accounts for 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Reducing emissions related to electricity consumption requires accurate measurements readily available consumers, regulators and investors. In this case study, we propose a new real-time consumption-based accounting approach based on flow tracing. This method traces power flows from producer consumer thereby representing the underlying physics system, in contrast traditional input-output models carbon accounting. With explore hourly structure trade across Europe 2017, find substantial differences between production intensities. emphasizes importance considering cross-border increased transparency regarding emission electricity.
